"Didi. dip"
As the invisible sound of Clock passes on the surface of the world, Yan Huan's consciousness turns dark and bright in an instant.
Just one second passed, and the real world that Ye Shiyu was still in front of him faded like an oil painting, and finally turned into another scene.
In front of me was a small, sealed rental house.
There was no peculiar smell in the room, but the windows and doors visible to the naked eye were sealed with paper strips. The light-tight conditions made the room look extremely dark.
Yan Huan blinked, and when his body moved slightly, he realized that he was still holding a knife in his hand.
He seemed.
He is guarding against something.
And in front of him was a mobile phone placed on the table.
"."
Yan Huan stared blankly at this narrow room, and could clearly feel the difference between this place and reality.
The only thing that is the same is that the time has reached 4:45.
He has reached the if line.
"Meow~"
On the shoulders, the black shadow gradually thickened until it turned into substance, and a pair of emerald-like cat eyes opened.
"Meow-chan."
"Meow, in this if line, you look a little fatter, meow!"
"."
Yan Huan touched his chin and really felt a little soft flesh.
Moreover, I also felt the hard stubble, which seemed to have not been shaved for a while.
Which if line have you traveled to?
Yan Huan was a little curious and picked up the phone.
Inside, his decadent appearance with thick dark circles under his eyes and stubble on his face was reflected.
Huh?
Immediately afterwards, the phone was unlocked, revealing numerous plane messages inside.
They are all sent by Hitomi Sakuramiya.
"Husband, listen to my explanation"
"I didn't mean to spy on you"
"Originally I just wanted to see what you were doing. It was only recently that the situation became serious."
"I'm worried about you hanging out with other girls, that's why"
"Especially since you've been hanging out with other girls recently, I'm worried about staying at home."
"Please reply to the message, husband, I was wrong."
"I won't spy on you anymore, seriously, I swear."
"Husband, tell me, where are you?"
"Where are you?"
"Where are you?"
"."
The last message was sent seven days ago.
Looking at the message inside, Yan Huan quickly turned the phone upside down and took a deep breath.
He seems to know what the if line is.
Fortunately, he is still in a safe place now, and he only needs to stay here for one day.
"Call"
He took a deep breath and looked at Meow-chan aside.
"Okay, from now on, you must listen carefully to anything I say, meow!"
And Meow-chan shook his tail and quickly got to the point,
"First of all, remember it well. Like now, if you directly 'substitute' your own situation in any scene, it means that you are in the if line!"
Yan Huan nodded. Meow-chan said this, which means that the focus is on the second half of the sentence.
"So, if I travel to the real timeline, I won't be a substitute, right?"
Meow-chan nodded seriously and then said,
"That's right, meow! Everything in the if line is false, and it will only become real for a short time because of your arrival.
"But the real timeline is different. You have really traveled to a time period that has already happened, and of course you will encounter things that happened in the past and the people involved.
"Including yourself!"
Hearing this, Yan Huan pinched his chin and thought for a while, and couldn't help but feel a headache.
He has watched many science fiction movies. Once this happens, the famous "Grandma Paradox" will appear.
". It's better to try not to meet the past me. Anyway, the goal this time is just related to Bai Yi, right?"
In order to reduce trouble, Yan Huan decided this way.
Meow-chan nodded and said,
"Very good, meow! You have already gained preliminary awareness of 'travel safety', meow!"
"Travel Safety Awareness."
"Wait a minute, meow."
As he said that, Meow-chan stood on his back feet, and the two cat paws in front touched his belly.
Then, just like Doraemon, it took out a golden gear-shaped ring.
"Put this on, Yan Huan!"
"What the hell is this?"
After taking the ring, Yan Huan asked.
And Meow-chan resumed standing on four legs and explained enthusiastically to Yan Huan,
"This is a prop used to observe the world line. With this thing, you can not only choose the time period to travel through, but also check whether the world line is stable."
Stable?
"Yan Huan, you must remember, the process of changing the world line is like replacing the parts in the already built building blocks.
"Contrary to the 'butterfly effect' in the general impression, the operating logic of the world line is the 'anti-butterfly effect', which will maintain the stability of the system as much as possible.
"It's hard to completely change what's going on; you have to try to correct it bit by bit at different points in time.
"And at the same time, the more things you change, the more you will be blocked by the world line.
"I just don't know the specific method of obstruction. You have to research it yourself."
Meow-chan looked at the golden ring and looked at Yan Huan very seriously,
"If it is done too hastily and too many variables change at the same time, it will cause the system to collapse. That is, the world line will be annihilated."
Annihilation?
"What will happen?"
"It will be completely ruined, meow! In that case, it is better to let Modifier come to me, meow!"
"."
That's very serious.
"But the problem is that I only have two master keys. Now I use it once to travel to the if line, and then I have to use it again to travel to the past. How can I change it if I don't get it once and for all?"
"Meow"
Hearing this, Meow-chan's eyes widened, looking shocked.
It's true!
"Tap tap. tap."
It was at this moment that Yan Huan, through his super strong physique, vaguely heard a faint sound of footsteps coming from outside the door.
and
The sound of the knife scraping slightly on the ground.
Yan Huan squinted his eyes, but suddenly asked Meow-chan,
"By the way, if the if line is false, what will happen if you die here?"
"It will really kill me."
"."
Hearing this, Yan Huan sat up speechlessly and looked towards the door.
"Dong dong dong"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Yan Huan cleared his throat and asked,
"Who?"
"It's me, husband"
It was the voice of Hitomi Sakuramiya, but it was a little trembling.
Yan Huan walked over there without hesitation.
"Click."
He pressed the door handle and was about to push the door open.
But Meow-chan's eyes widened. Apparently, it also heard the sound of knives rubbing from outside the door.
"Wait, Yan Huan! You"
Sure enough, as soon as he opened the door, Yan Huan saw Hitomi Sakuramiya standing at the door with the same dejected look on his face.
She held up the knife and looked at herself with bloodshot eyes,
"Husband, when I can't see you during this period, have you cheated?"
"."
Yan Huan didn't reply. He just looked at Hitomi Sakuramiya in front of him and sighed.
His lack of reply seemed to be taken as acquiescence by Hitomi Sakuramiya in front of her, so tears immediately fell from the corners of her eyes.
"No, don't"
At the same time, she also gripped the knife tightly and rushed towards Yan Huan.
But Yan Huan didn't even look at her, just stretched out his hand and pulled her gently.
Also, Hitomi Sakuramiya's physical strength is so weak even in the if line. Yan Huan pulled the knife lightly and knocked it out of her hand that was unsteady.
But Hitomi Sakuramiya whimpered and wanted to lower his head to pick it up. Yan Huan had quick eyes and quick hands and picked it up first.
Immediately, he raised his head high.
"Give it back, give it back!"
In front of him, Hitomi Sakuramiya, who had not yet reached Yan Huan's chest, shrank his eyes and stretched out his hand to reach it.
But where can I get it?
Instead, she jumped twice, but she still had no energy to jump, and she would stay on the spot panting for a long time after jumping once.
"Haha. Give it back to me."
"."
Seeing this, Yan Huan couldn't help but darken his face, and even wanted to laugh a little.
"Hitomi, you are really not suitable for the yandere script."
He sighed, and the next second, he gently reached out and patted Hitomi Sakuramiya on the back of his neck.
"Pah!"
In an instant, Hitomi Sakuramiya in front of him lost consciousness and fainted on the spot.
"."
In the small rental house, Yan Huan supported the unconscious Hitomi Sakuramiya, and looked at each other with Meow-chan.
"It seems to be safe now, nya."
"It's definitely safe."
Yan Huan glanced at his fingers, only Ring Finger wore a ring, instead of transforming into the Lord of the Rings like in the previous if line.
It seems that I am only married to Hitomi Sakuramiya in this if line.
"Boom"
Putting down the unconscious Hitomi Sakuramiya, Yan Huan put on the world line observation ring that Meow-chan had given him before.
"Buzz"
In an instant, Yan Huan's eyes were dyed with a dazzling golden light.
In front of his eyes, there seemed to be a golden river composed of countless silk threads.
The river was rushing in front of him, extremely stable.
If you look closely, your field of vision seems to have broken through the dimensions, cropping along the scales of time and space, showing three-dimensional pictures.
This is the world line?
Yan Huan is a bit difficult to understand and makes your eyes hurt.
Fortunately, Meow-chan gave a timely reminder from the side,
"You don't have to look at those cats, you just need to look at whether those golden rivers are stable! The specific crossing time will be determined when you cross."
"Hey, but didn't you say before that I can't travel through time and space with my physique? What method have you come up with?"
"This is the way!"
Hearing this, Meow-chan swung its tail.
Immediately afterwards, its size suddenly expanded dozens of times, turned into a black cloud, and swallowed Yan Huan into its belly.
Yan Huan's eyes widened, and before he could react, he felt as if his body was melting into the dark clouds.
Although it didn't hurt at all, Yan Huan still felt weird.
"What do you do?"
"I will fuse my body for you to use, meow"
Meow-chan's voice came from Yan Huan's head, and at the same time, Yan Huan's body began to shrink a little bit.
"In this way, you can obtain the properties of my body and the power of gods, and use this to travel through time and space, meow!"
Divine.
Power?
Yan Huan blinked, and in the next second, its figure condensed little by little and turned into one.
White cat.
"Meow?"
Yan Huan meowed subconsciously and glanced down at his body.
Immediately, before it spoke, the unconscious Hitomi Sakuramiya frowned and turned over subconsciously.
The arms that turned over spread towards the ground. Yan Huan actually didn't react and was slapped by Hitomi Sakuramiya and flew away.
"Boom!"
After rolling on the ground twice, Yan Huan's face was filled with shock.
"This is the power of gods?!"
Was he swatted away by Hitomi?
That's very powerful.
"This is an accident, meow. I must have spent too much energy trying to melt with you."
"Boiling fog!"
"You promised not to call me Boiling Mist!"
"That's what Yan Huan said. Now that I have merged with you, you can blame yourself!"
"Meow?!"
Yan Huan ignored Meow-chan, who heard the voice in his head saying "It can still be like this". It just stretched its body and complained,
"Is this all it can do? How can a cat change the past?!"
". This is the best way I can think of, meow, otherwise you won't be able to travel back in time. Let me improve the fusion technology during this time and see if I can unlock more abilities for you."
"."
No matter how much you use your abilities, won't they still be boiling fog?
Yan Huan was speechless, but had no choice but to squat on the spot and silently look at the clock aside.
But then again
With the master key in his hand, he can only travel once. As Meow-chan said, the error tolerance rate is indeed too low.
Suddenly he had an idea.
I just don't know if it will work.
No matter what, give it a try.
"Didi. dip"
Yan Huan's transformed cat sat there, anxiously waiting for the time to pass.
In the early morning, Hitomi Sakuramiya woke up after being knocked unconscious.
"Husband"
"Meow~"
She looked around and found that Yan Huan had long disappeared.
In the cold room, only a cute white cat with golden eyes was left.
I don't know why, looking at the white cat, Hitomi Sakuramiya suddenly felt like crying.
She lowered her head and sobbed for a long time. She couldn't bear to see Yan Huan, so she had to step forward to comfort her.
But even so, she still left at dawn, not knowing where she went.
"."
Yan Huan followed, wanting to confirm whether there was a secret room for Modifier's props in the previous if line's home in this if line.
After arriving, I walked around and found nothing.
Alas, it seems that not every if line has rewards.
Yan Huan was a little disappointed, but did not stay here any longer. Instead, he ran to a secluded place and waited for 4:44 the next day.
It waited on the tree with its hands folded for a long time, and then, at a certain moment, the Clock sound of walking like water droplets came from around it again.
"Didi. dip"
"It's time, meow, Yan Huan!"
"I know"
Yan Huan stood up, summoned the last master key in his mind, and then opened the world line observer in his own eyes.
At this moment, the surface of the world line flashed with countless golden lights.
It was like the ocean was boiling, and all the efforts were expended to boil out a brilliant bubble.
Is that the process of generating a new if line?
Yan Huan is not sure, just use his consciousness to turn the gear-shaped ring.
In an instant, the ring burst into golden light, gradually forming an illusory golden pendulum clock in front of Yan Huan.
The pendulum moves left and right, pushing time forward.
On top of the pendulum clock is an illusory arrangement representing "year, month, and day".
Yan Huan recalled the time of his accident, but when he thought about it again, he couldn't help but become confused.
The current world line was changed once by Bai Yi. At that time, I died in a car accident, but Bai Yi changed it so that everything was fine.
And then, Bai Yi disappeared again, but he was still not killed in the car accident.
So, can you still see Bai Yi if you jump to that day?
"Click click click."
Yan Huan was hesitant, but still chose to push Clock to set the time.
And just as time was turning, the pendulum below also swung extremely rhythmically.
"Clang!"
To the left, the scene that suddenly appeared was that of Yan Huan being collided with and passing by Ambulance.
"Clang!"
On the right, he was directly hit by a car, covered in blood, and then killed by Bai Yi cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
!!
Okay!
Can see Bai Yi!
Aren't the timeline records overwritten?
"."
Yan Huan was surprised, but still raised his paw and pressed the time of that day.
Then, the pendulum suddenly stopped.
All the surrounding scenes were instantly shattered, bringing an extremely terrifying suction force that submerged Yan Huan's body into it.
"Hiss!!"
Yan Huan suddenly felt that his body was under great pressure. Fortunately, at this moment, Maomao's body was like a diving bell, protecting him in the turbulence of time and space.
"Didi. dip"
So, the next second, Linmen dripping in the rain appeared before his eyes again.
That was the day he died in a car accident.
At this moment, the rain curtain covering Linmen gradually overlapped with an illusory, walking Clock sound, outlining a strange concerto in the dark twilight.
Opposite the villa where Beihai District was hit by Ambulance, a beautiful figure emerged in the darkness.
Her little face was pale and her eyes were still shining with tears.
"No no. Yan Huan woo."
Bai Yi's beautiful little face was covered with tears. She held Pocket Watch with one hand and tried to lift her other hand to wipe away the tears.
But the tears seemed to be unable to be wiped away, and the more they were wiped away, the more they came.
"Plop!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
It wasn't until she walked a few steps that her body softened a little and she sat on the ground.
And the next second, a white cat just passed through the layers of time and space, falling into reality bit by bit in the shadow of illusion.
"Meow~"
It's eyes widened, and after it landed safely, it focused its attention on the person in front of it again.
At this moment, in the reflection of its golden cat eyes
It's finally seen again
That beautiful face that still exists.
"Woo"
It's Bai Yi.
